Canadian newsprint output has al- • most doubled in the past aye years while that of the United States has practically stood still. To -day the out- put of the two countries is substan- tially the same although the. present ;veer should see Canada assume pre- mier position among the world's newsprint producing countries, as tre- mendous plant expansions are actually under way or contemplated in every section of the Dominion. Exports, which are largely to the United States, have increased almost tenfold since pre-war years, and the proportion of exports to that country should even further increase as the various Am- erican paper concerns replace their present mills with plants in Canada where raw materials and power are not only cheaper but offer greater op- portunity for future expansion. It may be of interest to examine the pro- duction figures (to the nearest 100,- 000 tons) of the two countries since the war. -4,ratitnnheof newsprint in the and Uan in tons: U.S. Canada 1920 1,500,000 • 900,000 1921 1,200,000 ' 800,000 1922 1,400,000 1,100,000 1923 1,500,000 1,300,000 1924 1,500,000 1,400,000 1925 1,50,000 •1,500,000 That the increase in Canadian pro- duction of recent years will be main- tained seems inevitable, for as pointed out by the Natural Resources Intelli- gence Service of the Dept. of the In- terior, most of the large producing companies have a definite program of expansion under consideration and in many cases, under way and financed. New organizations, some of huge pro- portions, have been incorporated and are definitely committed to productive programs. A brief review of same of these de- velepments may be of interest to show, not only the magnitude of the propos- ed plans in the aggregate, but also the wide geographical distribution of the pulpwood stands to be brought into production. In Quebec a. number of new mills will be erected as the result of open- ing up mare than 5,000 square miles of virgin limits in 1926 largely in the Lake St. John and Ottawa River dis- tricts. Two of the most important of the new mills are those of the St. Regis Company at Cap Rouge and the International Company on the Gat- ineau River near Ottawa, the latter mill alone being designed for an out- put of 450 tons daily. The Interna- tional Company is ale° enlarging its Three Rivers plant by nearly 40Catons daily and is expanding its sulphite • mill at Kipawa, Other organizations in the Three Rivers district adding substantially to their output are the Wayagamack, tbe St. Lawrence and the Beige Canadian Companies. In the Lake St. 'John 'district Price Bros. Limited and the Port Alfred Corn - pony are busily engaged in enlarging their facilities on a largo scale. Ontario's most notable pull' and pa- per develppments are about to take place in the Kapuskasing, Thunder/ Bay and Lake laripigon distrirts, each of which centre is to see mills of 500 tons daily capacity, according to un- official information now available. The capital required far these north- ern Ontario developments is stated to be nearly one hundred million dollars. At Fort Frances the Backus interests are doubling their newsprint plant arid the erallboatd industry is cotatre- • plated. • • In the Maritime Provinces a num- Ler of small plants are uncle:. con- sideration.

On the Pacific Coast large interests have reorganized and put new money into some of the smaller companies, namely the Beaver Cove and Whalen, organizations and a large and perm- anent production is looked for. A new rayon fibre plant is also being planned for New Weetminster. Taa addition to this, extensions amounting in the ag- gregate to several million dollars are being plannea by the Powell River interests. This rough survey of the program of expansion in the Canadian news- print industry is by no means a com- plete one, but it will serve to convey briefly and with emphasie the imme- diate future for Canada as a dominat- ing figure in the world of newsprint. Historic English Residence Prey to Flames. Excitement among the owners of his- toric 'English residences and the Bri- tish public generally has reached a high pitch as the result of the burning recently of the tenth country mansion within three months. The latest man - sloe to go up -in fames was Woolmore Farm, at Welksham, in Wiltshire, which was once the residence of Oliver Cromwell. The Battle of Round Row was fought near by between the Parliamentary and Royal troops. The house was 100 yards from an ancient tree known as the Cronrwell oak, on which seven. men were hanged on his orders. Recurrences of fires among country mansions have roused talk of Mean- diarisme but Scotland Yard as yet is unable to find any connection between the fires. Same nervous people are attributing them to communism. An- other theory is that the antique elec- tric fittings of most English houses are suddenly going bad. Certainly one reason for the immense damage is the inadequate fire protection, since once a 'country mansion catches fire it is practically doomed, as no Avenge- ments have been made foe a water supply sufficient to quench a major blaze. Australia Exempts Mothers From compulsory Voting. A woman who has to stay home to care for her baby is exempt from pun- ishment under the new Australian compulsory voting law, which provides for fines up to $10 for electors who do not vote. This railing has been made by the South Australian authorities charged with enforcing the law in the ease of the Federal elections held last Noveinber. In Adelaide fines of 10 shilliugs each (about $2.50) were im- posed on 135 electors, while "variotte excuses were anoepted in 6,400 cases. Great Builder of Bridges Died in London, Aged 94.

In an. old-fashioned town where they still adhere to the Wednesday night prayer and praise meeting, an official of the Children's Aid. Society was in quite a dilemma. That after- noon the Magistrate had committed a young delinquent to the Industrial School and the Children's.- Aid man had agreed to keep hint in his bouse overnight and start on the early morn- ing train. Ile wanted to attend the prayer meeting and, to make sure of the boy, decided to take him along. When they arrived, the members en- quired who the strange youth was and they all itecame greatly interested in his case. Finally the pastor said, We must make -this boy the special object of our prayers." It naturally followed that they all became deeply concerned about the lad's welfare. Sev,eral la- dies wanted him to dinner, to supper, for a visit, etc., and they 'decided to wait on the Magistrate in a body and request that sentence be deferred. This was agreed to and the result was that the boy never got to the Reform School. He made so many friends and learned to think so highly of himself in consequence, that he applied him- self earnestly to -work and study and is now a steady, reliable young man. No Traveller.

It is altogether independent of the world of concrete things, and is the expreesion of the inner nature. It does act express particular emo- tions, lint rather reproduces the essen- tial characteristics of emotion. In such work as Beethoven's Symphonies 'all II:amen passions and emotions find utteranoe—joy, sorrow, love, hatred, terror, hope, etee---in innumerable de- greee, yet all, as it were only in ab- stract and without particularization;' it is their Mere form without the sub- stance, like a spirit world without Mat- ter.i. Whereas Kant ignored the rbythenc elemeut in, nam$IC, Schopen- ha.uer considered it in all of its as- pects. Ilietard Wagner's devotion to Schopen.b.auer is well known, and his eseay on Beethoven- is founded upon the Schopenhauerian hypotheses. Hegel considered lhat music Mood halfway between the extended sen- suousness, of painting and the higher spirituality of poetry, but he did not work out any, theory to explain in an adequate manner the effect which music produces on theeemotions. To Herbert Spencer, music was the lang- uage et the emotions and he placed it high up in the educational scheme. 'If intellectual language is a growth, eo naso without doubt is emotional language a growth. In its bearings upon huneut happiness the emotional language w.hich musical culture.' de- velops and refines is second in import- auce only to the ,language of the intel- lect; perhaps not even second to it. The strange Capacity which we have for being affected by Melody and har- mony may be taken to imply both that it is within the possibilities of our na- ture to realize those intense delights they dimly suggest, and that they are in some way conoernt'au the realize - tion of them. If se, the power and the meaning or music become comprehens- ible."

It is estimated that the amount of mineral matter in solu- tion in the oceans le equal in volume to about 20 per cent. of all the land protruding above sea level. There are three general movements of the avatera of the ocean which make them important as geological agents— tiles, currents and waves. - • The tides are due chiefly to the at- traction which the moon exerts upon, the earth. Due to the tides, the water rises and falls twice in a little less than 24 home.

The currents do _very little geolo- gical work directly. They are import- ant because they transfer beat, thus tempering the climates in, higla lati- tudes and increasing the rainfall. In thie way, the currents indirectly in- crease the processes which attack the reeks. The viaves make the greatest attack upon the land.

The investigations of the Geographic Board of Canada indioate that the early voyageurs did 'net go far afield for names for the lakes and rivere on their routes of travel. More than one well -weeded loke bears the name lac des Bois or Wood lake, but the largest and best known of these is the lake of the Woods on the International Bound- ary between Ontario and Mimies.otat. The finsaknown mention of the lake °comas in a memoir of Michel Begon, who was Intenderut of New France from 1710 to 1726, though he did not reach Canada until 1712. This memoir, whith Isdated12th November, 1716, na.rrates an exploratory journey made In 1687 or 1688 by Jacques de Noyon, native of Three Rivera. Dee Noon ascended the Kaministikwia river, which falls into lake Superior at Pert William, wintered at Rainy lake, and in the following spring reached "lac aux Iles, otherwise called Asiniboiles," on entering which "to the left the country l barren and on the right hand slde it is provided, with all sorts of trees and filled with latimeraue Is- lands." Lac aux Iles and lac aux Mini- boiles are evidently Frenoh 'render- ings of the nemee by which the lake was known to the "'adieus. Indeed, the French historian Margay states that "Minitle" is an Indian name found hi Verendrye'a journals. Th1s. is the • Cree word "rninistik," Which means "island." The French for Island lake is Inc aux Iles. Lac aux Asinlbollee means.

In the last twenty -live years, man has outstripped all other periods in the number and kind of his Inventions and their practical application, says Popular Mechanics. nes. A quarter of a century ago, no one had heard of a radio, submarinee, war tanks, machine guns, airplanes and wireless telephones as articles ot al- most daily service. The world then was doubting IVIarconf and the little group of men who believed hi radio, while experimenters with airplanes were tolerated as amusing "cranks." To -day, the roar of the Mail planes daily is heard over the route of the' old Pony Express, armies of the world , fight in the air, and it is becoming the great highwayfor peaoe-time travel and shipping. • Intportant applications. and changes have been made in old Mventionee The reaper, tor instance, was known near- ly a century ago, but only in the last twenty-five years has- it been com- bined with the thresher.
